  1. Yea it is..and I decide to return it and look for a different size nut fittings.. thank you
  2. z240, thanks for explaining this. I did get the 3/8-24 nut fitting thats why it had play but i should be good since I can tighten it pretty good.
  3. Hello everyone, I just want to know everyone's thoughts on this hard brake line that I got off of a local parts store. I recently replaced my brake line hoses to stainless steel braided brake line hoses front and rear. During the process of removing the rear driver side brake line hose I destroyed the nut fitting on the hard line. I purchased a 3/16 size hard line about 40 inches long. When I thread the nut on either the ss braided hose or pressure regulating valve, there is play until it is tight. I'm curious if this is okay and will it leak. The hard line is copper and it is easy to bend. It's made my NiCopp brake lines. Thanks in advance Ernie
  4. Oh ok thanks you just a little worried but since you guys are using the stance as well it should work fine then. I have it bolted up with your camber plates that I bought. Great product.
  5. I didnt get a chance to take a pic but the video you had helped. Thank you
  6. Hey everyone, I just want some opinions on the stance usa weld on adapter tubes that I'm installing on my 240z (02/71). I've cut the strut tube and clean it with a wire brush. I grinded a little bit of a notch on the tube to go over the hump in the spindle forging but, when I put the tubes over the strut tube it just slides right in. I've read some post that I need to press or hammer it in. I am curious if this is ok. Tubes have a 2" ID. Thanks everyone
  7. Really, man I wanted those for my stance..what is the price on two rear weld-on adapters?
  8. im interested in camber plates and possibly two weld-on adapters if that is possible.
  9. Thanks for the explanation. Just thought that electric has an advantage over mechanical but as you mentioned it doesn't make difference. Ill keep my mechanical pump for now and maybe in the future switch to electric.
  10. My bad on the previous post and what I was trying to say is, is there a chance that fuel wont reach the engine while going up the hill if I have a mechanical pump.
  11. What kind of electrical fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator are you running?
  12. Thanks for the info Keith it was very helpful. The reason I want to get rid of the mechanical pump is I live in the valley and I'm moving to Los Angeles. I'm about 2 hours away and from where I live I have to go through the mountains to get to LA. My concern about the mechanical pump is when I'm driving up the mountain the fuel cuts off leaving me stranded. I want to be able to go back and forth from time to time to visit my families. I did look for fuel pressure regulator with a bypass or return line and found a couple of them. I found some regulator with in/out inlet and bypass but has no fuel pressure mounting gauge. I found some with the same exact application and has a fuel pressure mounting gauge but has vacuum/boost port. Thought it would be easier to just buy one that has a mounting gauge so I don't have to buy the extra part for the gauge. Any recommendation to what I should use? ernie
  13. hello everyone, I'm thinking about swapping out my mechanical fuel pump to an electric pump but I don't really know what to do. I have a Clifford 6=8 with a 4 barrel carburetor and the set up is weird. There is two fuel line coming from the tank, one of them is a bigger size fuel line(main line) and the other is a smaller size fuel line. There are two fuel filter before and after the mechanical fuel pump. The bigger size fuel line goes to the mechanical fuel pump and the smaller size fuel line directly connects to the second fuel filter after the mechanical pump. Then connects to the carburetor. I've attached a picture to show how it looks. If I did change my set up to an electrical fuel pump, do I put a fuel pressure regulator close to where the mechanical pump was. Also, what do I with the smaller size fuel line coming from the tank. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks everyone
  14. No worries I'm new to this so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for looking out and I'm going to check out Harbor Freight.
  15. I recently got a 71 240z from my uncle but it hasn't ran in a couple months. He said that it might be some wiring under the dash because he seen smoke coming out. I tried turning the car on but i noticed that no lights or any ticking sound comes on at all. The only thing that works is the hazard light. The engine does turn over if I have a wire from the starter to the battery. If anyone can help me please do and I appreciate all the help I can get. thank you
